Twisp of Fate

Well, I have some catching up to do!  First off, Rick installed the display cabinet last shown here “underway”, and here is how it looked with the art glass collection it holds:

He’s now at work on a sideboard and wall of bookcases for friends down in Wenatchee.

I went over to the coast last Saturday to attend some social events.  Saturday night we celebrated my old friend Chris’s 60th birthday.  I have to be careful not to lay it on too thick with this “old” business, or she will be merciless when it’s my turn… (who am I kidding, she will be merciless anyway.)

The next day, I travelled down to Gig Harbor with some knitting friends for an annual tradition called “Soup Bowl Sunday” at our friend Suzanne’s beautiful home.  There we knitted, talked, ate and laughed our way throughout a very enjoyable afternoon.  I also got a fabulous arm and hand massage that did wonders for the soreness in my left thumb.  She said it was a combination of massage and rolfing.  Thank you, Carolyn!

The last picture shows Janet’s Grey Mist cowl neck Bohus sweater, and one that Suzanne knit several years ago.  Both gorgeous!  I wore my Forest Darkness but failed to get a picture – it is still without buttons, but hopefully that situation will change soon.

Janet and Susanna had just returned from the opening of the Radiant Knits: The Bohus Tradition exhibit at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis.  They brought me a copy of the booklet that Susanna and Wendy J. Johnson published to accompany the exhibit; it is available only from ASI here and had a limited printing, so get your copy now!  They also produced a lovely set of notecards , which are also only available from ASI.
